What a story this is. This book is so rich in detail and emotionally engaging. All three characters came across so strong. I expected to connect with one more than the other but that really wasn’t the case. The story is so well written. The author really opens your eyes to things you wouldn’t necessarily experience but does do in a way that you don’t feel excluded. I think a lot of this comes from the fact the author can speak from experience. This is a brilliant story that I would highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fantastic addition to the series this book is. This book is all about the characters. Right from the word go they have such a strong connection. Their chemistry is obvious in every page and they really take over the when book.
What I also really enjoyed about this book is that is had a depth about it that that don’t often find with rock star romances. It made it much easier to engage with the story as it developed.
This was a great book overall and a strong series that is worth a read.

This is a great start to a new series. The story is an interesting and well written story that holds your attention from the start. However, for me, it is the characters that really make the story. They have auch a strong connection right from the start and i found they were the ones that caught my attention.
This is a new author to me but I enjoyed the pace of the book. She knew when to push the story forward but also when to hold it back for the sake of progression.
This is an enjoyable story that I would definitely recommend.

What an intriguing story. This is one of those books that will keep you completely captivated from start to finish.  The book is so intense and dark.  I could not look away from what I was reading.  So many times I thought I had this book figured out and each time I was wrong.  This author turns you upside down and inside out and you really have no clue what is happening.
This is one of those books you just have to read and I would urge you to do so today. This is a fantastically thrilling story that will grip your attention and make you question so much. Just amazing.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought this book was a sweet, touching story that really will help children, and adults, to think about greatness and how to find it. It was an easy book to read but also quite thought provoking – a great way to get children thinking in more detail about the little things in life.
This wouldn’t be my usually type of read but I definitely enjoyed it. And although my kids are both too young for it I will definitely be keeping it in mind for when they are older. This is a lovely and well written story.

This is a detailed and rich story that takes you on journey right from the first page.  I found the whole story to be so interesting. It is completely different to what I would expect from this author but it was a great story nonetheless.
It was easy to imagine what the author was describing. The settings, the characters were all vivid and real. The author really does pull you into the story and it feels like you are experiencing it with the main character. I thought this was a well written book that is certainly worth your time.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price AUDIO BOOK by C. L. Schneider – Review by Kerry Baker

<span;>This author is one that I have come to really enjoy since discovering some other series and I was so excited to start listening to this story. I was pulled I this story so effortlessly. I found it really easy to get lost in the narration and imagine everything been described. This is the perfect kind of book to make into an audio book as it is so imaginative and detailed.
<span;>I really loved the story too. I thought it was a brilliant example of fantasy done well and it has me excited for book two. I would definitely recommend this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is such an emotional story. After reading the first book there was no way I wasn’t going to read this one too so I could find out how this journey would end. From the moment you start reading you are pulled straight back into the characters. This book is probably even more heart breaking and emotional that the first book. The whole way through I kept convincing myself I knew how the story would end only to change my mind a few moments later. The author has created such a lasting story that I think stays with you long after the Duet ends. This is a fantastic series that I would highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is such a steamy and sensual story. I hadn’t looked what this this story was actually about when I started reading, instead juat going in blind. I was so surprised to see the dom in this situation was female but I really enjoyed that variation. It gave the whole book a refreshing feel to it and certainly caught my interest. The characters have such a strong and dynamic connection that the story feels completely about them. I was pulled into their journey and really enjoyed reading about them.
This is a well written book that grabs your attention. I would definitely say it is one to add to your TBR list!

Drummer’s Beat (Satan’s Devils MC #2) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Kerry Baker

<span;>I read the book of this one first and I honestly loved it. So when I got the chance to listen listen the audio book I didn’t hesitate. Hearing the tale narrated just pulls you into the story so much more. All the characters within this whole series are easy to relate to but having them described and voiced out loud completely brought them to life. I was utterly drawn in to this book like it was my first experience with the story and I found any excuse I could to listen. This author was already one of my favourites.but listening to this book just cemented that evrtn further. I would highly recommend her, this book and anything else she has ever written!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is absolutely not for the faint hearted. This is a dark and intense story that at times is honestly a little hard to read. But the darkness and depravity actually just makes it so much better.
This book really sinks its claws in deep and refuses to let go  even after the last page. I found myself thinking about this book long after I had finished reading it. The book is full of triggers so if this is something that is a factor then I would definitely think hard before picking up this book. If you do, however, it is completely worth it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I first picked up this book I expected a sweet holiday romance that was easy to read and a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. What I got was all of that but much more too. I thought the characters were everything in this book. They have such a strong connection – the chemistry is evident right from the start. I really engaged with their story and I wanted to know more about them both.
This really is a brilliant holiday story. It is the kind of book that you can curl up on a sofa with and become immersed in what is going in. This is a great book that is well worth a read.

This book is a great example of finding the beauty in everyday, simple things. I thought the author did a great job of reminding the reader that it isn’t always about the big things in life that make special, but rather the smaller more inconsequential aspects.
The author really takes you on her journey with this book. She makes it all seem.so relatable while also showing you how you can adjust your own way of thinking to do the same. I thought this whole book was such an interesting read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
